Our Partners

The Canada Tibet Committee collaborates with like-minded organizations in Canada. These partnerships offer the CTC an important opportunity to reach outside of our own constituency and bring the issue of Tibet into the wider civil society community in Canada. Partnerships also provide the CTC with access to valued expertise in key areas of work.

The Canada Tibet Committee works closely with Tibet-related organizations in other countries around the world. The CTC is a founding member of the International Tibet Network and currently serves on its international steering committee.

Asia Pacific Working Group

The Asia-Pacific Working Group (APWG) is one of three geographic working groups of the Canadian Council for International Co-operation (CCIC). The APWG brings together NGOs, faith-based organizations, unions and solidarity groups from across Canada that have a specific interest in development, social justice, and human rights in Asia. The APWG’s purpose is to improve the impact of its members through collaborative reflection and analysis, including input from southern partners, and through the coordination of policy development, dialogue and learning.

Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability

The Canadian Network on Corporate Accountability (CNCA) brings together environmental and human rights NGOs, religious organizations, labour unions, and research and solidarity groups from across Canada who are advocating for federal legislation to establish mandatory corporate accountability standards for Canadian extractive companies operating abroad, especially in developing countries. With more than 20 member organizations, the CNCA represents the concerns of millions of Canadians from coast to coast to coast.
